        I am okay with this.

        I propose  Q 11 with the following wording.
        
        11) One of the ingredient for success in an Open Source project
        such as GNOME is committed and dedicated memberships. How would
        you propose to promote new membership, and encourage commitment of
        existing membership to make the GNOME desktop the desktop of choice?
        [ Hints: the number of Foundation members have reduced from 460
          in 2001 to approximately 300 in 2002 ]
        
        I know this is a bit ;), but would be interesting to see what the
        answers are.
        

Thanks,
